The worst team in ar st's weight class? I don't know what would happen. But history has shown me a state loses to bad P5 schools. There isn't a player of states roster that wouldn't rather play in the SEC.

I am not arguing for him. I am arguing that even a bad P5 school is a tough game for a good G5 school.

No doubt we are a bad P5 school. No doubt this game was unacceptable. I would fire CBB today.

But this ASU team already lost to a bad Nebraska team. That team fired its AD and will have a new coach next year. We aren't a gimme for ASU.

ASU may have lost to Nebraska, but 2 of our wins are against bad Sun Belt teams, another against a 3-7 Florida A&M team, and a bad Ole Miss team. You can't use the "weak Sun Belt teams" argument to criticize ASU's schedule while giving the Hogs credit for beating the same teams.

Not giving any credit. I am 100 percent focused on asu's history against bad power 5 schools. Even this year.

The link you posted was labeled stAte. Unless I miss the mark, that is an a state moniker.

Clearly the a state fans, press, players, alum want games with AR. It's humorous to hear them pretend that this is only something that AR thinks about.

Nobody in power wants the game TBH. A state likes pretending that AR is afraid and AR likes the money we keep by not giving up a home game. Until someone gives up their position the game will continue to not be played.

regardless of how it may have been labeled anyone without a biased view can see by reading it that it is slanted in favor of the hogs.

I saw it differently. It seemed to be a response to an earlier article that the author thought was unfair to state.

What is clear is that state fans, press, players and graduates think about and want a game against AR. But the powers that be on both sides are unwilling to make the sacrifice required to see it happen.

That may be it. But let me give a little context. I moved to NE AR about 18 months ago. Before that I would have happily accepted the idea that a state doesn't think about AR. It makes sense that the two programs aren't close enough to be rivals so we run our own races with the occasional barb back and forth. Being in this region is what convinced me that state fans think about AR quite a bit. Now soy country state fans may not be a good representative sample but it is the home turf.
